Split-System Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

The first two categories below are the outside portion of a split-system air conditioner (cooling only) or heat pump (heating and cooling) system. In addition to the outside equipment you will also need an indoor piece of equipment, either a forced air furnace, or an air handler, as well as some additional components.

An evaporator coil is the part of a heat pump or air conditioning system that becomes cold when the unit operates (or warm for a heat pump in winter). It is mounted in (or connected inline with) the ductwork of the home. When the system is on, air flows through the coil and the cold air (or warm air for a heat pump in winter) is distributed throughout the home.
